One day a farmer's donkey
fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer
tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided that the animal
was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway. It just wasn't
worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come
over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At
first, the donkey realised what was happening and cried in panic. Then,
to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovels later, the farmer
finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With
every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off
and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt
on top of the animal, each time he shook it off and took another step
up. Pretty soon everyone was amazed when the donkey stepped over the
edge of the well and trotted of!
Remember….
Life is going to shovel dirt on you
So just shake it off and take a step up!
Each of our troubles is a stepping stone
We can get out of the deepest well by never giving up.
P.S. The donkey later came back and kicked the crap out of the farmer
that tried burying him!
MORAL: When you try to cover your ass, it always comes back at you!
